Artistic practices have changed within the last 30 years: Many artists are not working alone anymore, the artist and specially the media artist is working together with technicians, programmers, scientists, theoreticians, more and more inspiring collaboratives are being founded. Art - and the art market - have gone global. How do Western and Chinese players in the art field deal with these new conditions of production in the era of cultura...l globalization?
